All under the cowel of a 4th gen. So what was so difficult? Off the car they are cake with the right tools.
The heads were off and we had a valve spring tool its just the valve springs kept wanting to shoot out the side. Got the hang of it after a few times though. It was just a PITA compared to LS6 springs, lol.

LOL turbo setups are not fun to build but the end result is awesome. The turbo headers I was buying the guy backed out of so now i gotta rethink my build.
